I asked this question in the "small questions thread" - I had someone PM me a link to the "identify this thread", so I'm just going to start a whole new thread.

What oil filter(s) fit this oil filter mount (EAR-2178ERL)?

Funny how in the description of the item it says "3/4-16 in. Thread". That's the filter, if you didn't know. It can also be found by clicking the "Application" tab on the link you provided. Interestingly enough, Summit also allows you to search for oil filters by thread type. To completely handfeed: Oil Filters - Engines & Components - SummitRacing.com (http://www.summitracing.com/search/Department/Engines-Components/Part-Type/Oil-Filters/?keyword=3/4-16%20in.%20Thread&dds=1)
To narrow it down even further, you can search by Make/Model with those threads to get a stock filter that will fit. On that list? Nissan Silvia/240sx.

Seriously. There may have been a reason no one answered you.

Or you could've taken it to a parts store with you and tested filters on it...
